D'Antoni Wants Barbosa/Diaw In NY... For Steph!
Quote:
The New York Daily News - One of the first moves Mike D'Antoni is expected to leave his fingerprints on as the head coach of the Knicks is a deal to bring a pair of his favorite Suns to his new team, according to a source close to The New York Daily News.
He is expected to make a push to acquire guard Leandro Barbosa and forward Boris Diaw from Phoenix, where the pair have reportedly fallen out of favor.
D'Antoni would reportedly like to offer Stephon Marbury and his expiring ($22 million) contract as the centerpiece of the deal.
"He loves Boris and Barbosa and he didn't like Marbury when he had him," said the source. "So this is the type of move that can jump-start D'Antoni's program right off the bat. He went to New York with the notion that he will have input and help alter the roster to get his kind of players."

Not gonna happen.
Only way a deal gets made is if they give the Suns something of value. Barbosa and Diaw are too important to the rotation to give up for junk like him as a centerpiece in any deal.

Yeah right, for Marbury, horrible trade. I'd take their #1 pick instead.

Re: D'Antoni Wants Barbosa/Diaw In NY... For Steph!
Would you do Marbury (expiring) + NY's 2008 1st Rnd Pick + Balkman --> Barbosa + Diaw?
Or do you, like everyone else, only want David Lee?

The Knicks pick isn't going anywhere IMO. They're not that stupid.

the knicks pick isn't going to be traded for barbosa/diaw, especially not with a huge expiring that will be a valuable trading piece, but it definitely could be moved.

If they were to trade their 1st rder, and a player or two that could be useful, I'd probably really consider it, especially if the pick put the Suns in a position to get Bayless. They wouldn't have to include Lee. I'm not even that high on him either so. I doubt they'd part with it for those two though.

LOL, as much as I'd like to see both these guys gone its not gonna happen. We could get better value than Starbury though.

marbury's value is as an expiring contract. the suns probably won't find too many teams looking to take diaw off their hands for an expiring.
